This year, CBC Ottawa asked CBC Ottawa journalists and community partners to share their go-to recipes and the stories behind them. These recipes have been put into a limited edition cookbook that is called OUR TABLE because it includes a collection of memories and meals “from our table to yours”.

On Friday, Dec. 14, visit us at the National Arts Centre during our special Project Give programming and get your copy of OUR TABLE for a suggested minimum donation of $40. All proceeds will go to the Ottawa Food Bank.
